our sincere sympathy to the families
of those who thus fell, that they and

-that ls good, free and noble.
"Further, that congress be asked to

HOME OP BRIDE— REV. JOR-.
DAftl OFFICIATES.
While no Amherst family has yet
undergone ah,x_ actual suffering because of inability to get coal, unless
the supply ls replenished very soon,
such s condition will becomesa probability. Local dealers' supplies are
running alarmingly low.
J. H. Schlbley ot the Amherst Supply Co. says his last bit of coal will
be gone today. Three cars for the
Supply company havo been on the road
for three weeks. He Bays there is a
possibility the railroad company would
seize It upon arrival. Il it does arrive
his customers' needs will be taken
care of for about three weeks.
Harry Ruth ot the Plato Coal &
Supply Co. says his supply also is low.
but he expects a car In anytime now
and ls making every effort to find out
where this car Is detained. Mr. Ruth
ls distributing his present supply in
one-ton lots. If 'the expected car arrives soon he will have enough to last
a couple ot weeks more.
J. H. Miller has but little coal on
hand, but also has a car somewhere
between the mines and Amherst, snd
he is trying his best to get this car
here. Mr. Miller says six carloads
have reached him In the last two
weeks but as fast as It comes in It
Is sold. He Is selling in one-ton lots,
end of Strike Welcomed.
The U. S. Automatic, the only Am
herst industry using a great amount
of coal, has enough on hand to lusf'
two or three weeks, and the oflicers
hope to get more ln that period of
time so they will not be compelled to
close down theashops.
The settlement of the coal strike,
announced last evening, brings a welcome sigh of relief from every con-
auiffer. What little coal has been arriving has come from Illinois and western mines.
While the strike ls over, the shortage will continue for some weeks at
least, and every person should conserve what supply he has. A shovelful of coal saved each day by every
coal user in Amherst will mean many
tons saved ln the aggregate.
OR. MILLER
a
IMPROVING.
Dr. Bryce Millar, who returned from
New York city Dec. 2 suffering from
a aevere case of nervous prostration,
Is recovering rapidly In the University
of Michigan hospital at Ann Arbor,
and is expected to be entirely recovered within a few dsys.
Dr. Miller will likely spend s few
weeks there for s much needed rest,
when he will return to Amherst to resume his practice, with especial attention to diseases snd surgery of
childhood.

In at the last minute. Checks for the
amounts due the various price winners will be mailed within a few days.
The judges were sorely pussled in
their efforts at arriving at a Just decision. For a time three separate
original adages were under consideration for first prise, and the margin between the first and fifth prizes was
very finely drawn. All were good.
Pictures Correctly Solved.
Nearly all the eight picture puzzle*
were soved correctly by the contestants, the prizes going to those.who
submitted the most original addled
adages. The eight pictures, correctly
interpreted, read as follows:
1. He who fights and runs away*)
may live to fight another day.
2. The love of gaming ls the worst
Of Ills,
3. The cat loves fish but dares not
wet its feet.
4. The Iran will of one stout heart
makes a thousand quail.
5. My words nothing; my Ideas
everything.
6. Sweets to the sweet.
7. Men must work and women
must weep.
8. An empty wagon always rattles.
Some Good Originals Submitted.
Some unique addled adages were
submitted. Probably the best were
those sent in by the first seven prize
winners. They read as follows, the
original adage being given following
the one they had addled:
1. ''Quarrel Is Just that hath made
het* thrice his." "Thrice armed is he
that hath his quarrel Just."
2. "Or money makes the game."
"Money makes the mare go."
3. "Instead ln court, he may find
himself that courts and does not wed."
"He that courts and does not wed may
find himself In court Instead."
4. "Angef turneth away a soft answer,-but grievous words stir up
wrath." "A soft answer turnesh away
wrath; but grievous words stir up
anger."
5. "How the shining bee doth little
Improve each busy hour." "How doth
the little busy bee Improve each snin-
ing hour."
6. "A part money and his are
fooled." "A fool snd his money are
soon parted."
Contest An Bye-Opener.
This ls the flrst contest ever conducted by The News Times and we
are satisfied with the way the public
of Amherst greeted it. As we said
before, that prise money will coifjg in
mighty handy now—Just before
Christmas. Many who did not embrace the opportunity of entering afe
sure to be Just a little bit envious of
those who copped fhe prizes.
During the contest our subscription
list was greatly Increased. We wish
to thank all those who rook part and
hop the winners are satisfied with the
way the contest was conducted. We
also publicly thank the Judges for
thalr co-operation and their absolute
fairness ln awarding the prizes.

our sincere sympathy to the families
of those who thus fell, that they and

"Further, that congress be asked to

NUPTIALS TODAY
MARRIED AT 12 O'CLOCK AT THE
HOME OP BRIDE— REV. JOR-.
DAftl OFFICIATES.
While no Amherst family has yet
undergone ah,x_ actual suffering because of inability to get coal, unless
the supply ls replenished very soon,
such s condition will becomesa probability. Local dealers' supplies are
running alarmingly low.
J. H. Schlbley ot the Amherst Supply Co. says his last bit of coal will
be gone today. Three cars for the
Supply company havo been on the road
for three weeks. He Bays there is a
possibility the railroad company would
seize It upon arrival. Il it does arrive
his customers' needs will be taken
care of for about three weeks.
Harry Ruth ot the Plato Coal &
Supply Co. says his supply also is low.
but he expects a car In anytime now
and ls making every effort to find out
where this car Is detained. Mr. Ruth
ls distributing his present supply in
one-ton lots. If 'the expected car arrives soon he will have enough to last
a couple ot weeks more.
J. H. Miller has but little coal on
hand, but also has a car somewhere
between the mines and Amherst, snd
he is trying his best to get this car
here. Mr. Miller says six carloads
have reached him In the last two
weeks but as fast as It comes in It
Is sold. He Is selling in one-ton lots,
end of Strike Welcomed.
The U. S. Automatic, the only Am
herst industry using a great amount
of coal, has enough on hand to lusf'
two or three weeks, and the oflicers
hope to get more ln that period of
time so they will not be compelled to
close down theashops.
The settlement of the coal strike,
announced last evening, brings a welcome sigh of relief from every con-
auiffer. What little coal has been arriving has come from Illinois and western mines.
While the strike ls over, the shortage will continue for some weeks at
least, and every person should conserve what supply he has. A shovelful of coal saved each day by every
coal user in Amherst will mean many
tons saved ln the aggregate.
OR. MILLER
a
IMPROVING.
Dr. Bryce Millar, who returned from
New York city Dec. 2 suffering from
a aevere case of nervous prostration,
Is recovering rapidly In the University
of Michigan hospital at Ann Arbor,
and is expected to be entirely recovered within a few dsys.
Dr. Miller will likely spend s few
weeks there for s much needed rest,
when he will return to Amherst to resume his practice, with especial attention to diseases snd surgery of
childhood.

number of foulttons were sent
In at the last minute. Checks for the
amounts due the various price winners will be mailed within a few days.
The judges were sorely pussled in
their efforts at arriving at a Just decision. For a time three separate
original adages were under consideration for first prise, and the margin between the first and fifth prizes was
very finely drawn. All were good.
Pictures Correctly Solved.
Nearly all the eight picture puzzle*
were soved correctly by the contestants, the prizes going to those.who
submitted the most original addled
adages. The eight pictures, correctly
interpreted, read as follows:
1. He who fights and runs away*)
may live to fight another day.
2. The love of gaming ls the worst
Of Ills,
3. The cat loves fish but dares not
wet its feet.
4. The Iran will of one stout heart
makes a thousand quail.
5. My words nothing; my Ideas
everything.
6. Sweets to the sweet.
7. Men must work and women
must weep.
8. An empty wagon always rattles.
Some Good Originals Submitted.
Some unique addled adages were
submitted. Probably the best were
those sent in by the first seven prize
winners. They read as follows, the
original adage being given following
the one they had addled:
1. ''Quarrel Is Just that hath made
het* thrice his." "Thrice armed is he
that hath his quarrel Just."
2. "Or money makes the game."
"Money makes the mare go."
3. "Instead ln court, he may find
himself that courts and does not wed."
"He that courts and does not wed may
find himself In court Instead."
4. "Angef turneth away a soft answer,-but grievous words stir up
wrath." "A soft answer turnesh away
wrath; but grievous words stir up
anger."
5. "How the shining bee doth little
Improve each busy hour." "How doth
the little busy bee Improve each snin-
ing hour."
6. "A part money and his are
fooled." "A fool snd his money are
soon parted."
Contest An Bye-Opener.
This ls the flrst contest ever conducted by The News Times and we
are satisfied with the way the public
of Amherst greeted it. As we said
before, that prise money will coifjg in
mighty handy now—Just before
Christmas. Many who did not embrace the opportunity of entering afe
sure to be Just a little bit envious of
those who copped fhe prizes.
During the contest our subscription
list was greatly Increased. We wish
to thank all those who rook part and
hop the winners are satisfied with the
way the contest was conducted. We
also publicly thank the Judges for
thalr co-operation and their absolute
fairness ln awarding the prizes.
